Upon completion of the Commercial Driving License course, he achieved a perfect score on his state Department of Motor Vehicles road test, an achievement few drivers ever achieve.

“When our students score so highly, especially by DMV standards, it directly reflects our commitment to excellence when it comes to teaching these courses," said his teacher, Ken Koegel. "It demonstrates to employers and the community that we produce skilled and knowledgeable students that will be assets to their trade.”

The Adult Education Department has seen a surge in enrollment throughout the fall and winter sessions, as it continues to expand programs to accommodate the ever changing demands in technology and trade skills.

All past and current students are encouraged to attend two informational meetings coming up at Oswego County BOCES. One is at 3 p.m. Dec. 2, at which Werner Enterprises will visit to offer pre-hire opportunities to qualified students.

At 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Dec. 9, representatives from the Empire State Highway Contractors Association, who hire for 35 different contractors throughout the state, will be on hand to talk to students and individuals about job opportunities.

Applications are now being accepted for both the winter Commercial Driving License session that starts in January and the spring Heavy Equipment Operator program coming up April.
